This prestigious event spans four consecutive days, featuring teams from IGCSE, American Diploma, International Baccalaureate, Canadian International Schools etc.

Competing teams, each comprising 7-9 players and accompanied by a school supervisor, compete for the grand prize: a week-long educational, entertainment and cultural trip to the UK,

The tournament requires schools to handle registration, as BESA does not accept direct applications from individual students. Registration is open from September until the end of November, and each school must submit a list of students who will represent them in the tournament. A registration fee is required for each student, and players must wear their school sports uniform throughout the competition. Schools are also responsible for providing transportation for their students..

The competition involves numerous matches, with 32 teams competing over three to four days to qualify for the next stages. Starting in 2026, the tournament will expand to include 48 teams.
